A month and a week later, June 17th 1992,
It's been two weeks since Veronica and Junior were allowed to go home and they had been inside the house since they arrived while Michael was preparing for the upcoming tour between bonding with Junior and making sure Veronica is ok
The three of them were also getting used to being a family now, of course the family came over too to see the latest addition to the family and Veronica's friend Hannah stayed a week with them to help her friend and congratulate them with the baby
Fiona and Liam went back to Honolulu a few days ago with the promise to visit again in the near future, they'd come visit them on tour or at home if Veronica and Junior stayed at home instead of going with Michael
The media was still trying to get the first picture of the newborn and were waiting outside the gates to be the first to snap the picture
"They're still there" Veronica sighed before she layed down on the bed after tucking her son in in his crib
"I know" Michael replied "They won't leave until they have their picture" He sighed "And sadly they probably will get their picture soon since we're leaving to Europe in a few days" he continued and joined Veronica
"Not necessarily, I mean I've this scarf I can use to tie it around me and Junior, kinda works like a kangaroo way how they protect their babies" Veronica suggested
"You're supposed to be careful, you're still healing from your surgeries, you could also stay here for a little while longer to recover and I'll get everything started with the tour" Michael suggested "I'd hate to leave you two behind but it's better for your injuries" he added
"Hell no, I'm not staying here while you're across the ocean, injuries or not I'm coming with you, how could you ask me to stay here?" Veronica replied
"It's only for a few more weeks" Michael tried
"No, I'm not staying here when you aren't in the country" Veronica told him
"It would only be for your own health, just until all the wounds are healed" Michael explained
"No, I don't want to be away from you, what if something happens to you or Charles friends find me, who knows if he had told people to finish the job if he failed?" Veronica mentioned
"They haven't found any evidence of Charles working with someone, they spoke to his cell mate too and all the guy said was he thought Charles had a crazy obsession with you, the kind of obsession where the obsessed individual wants to kill his obsession and not the unanswered love kind of obsession where the obsessed individual would do anything to be near that person and take care of all their needs" Michael explained
"You sound like a professor lecturing his students" Veronica smiled at him
"Yeah... Well the point is-" Michael continued but Veronica shut him up by kissing him
"I'll still go with you" Veronica mentioned once they stopped kissing
"You do know we'll be travelling a lot by plane and or a semi private Jet and there's also going to be a lot of press and-" Michael told her
"I know" Veronica interrupted him "But atleast we'd be togther, the three of us" She added
"Five actually, Matt and Bails are going with us too" Michael mentioned
"But who watches the restaurant then?" Veronica asked
"Desmond and mother said she'd often stop by too to check on how things are doing" Michael answered

10 days later, the day of the first concert,
Veronica and Bailey were at the hotel room getting ready to leave to the stadium while Matthew was already at the stadium with Michael and his crew
"Are you ready?" Matthew asked while he sat down on the couch in Michael's dressing room while he closed the door once everyone else left since he was ready to go on stage in thirty minutes
"No I hate this, remind me why do I tour again?" Michael replied
"Because you love your fans and you love helping the people you visit during the day and on your days off, like the hospital visits that are already scheduled for the next few days" Matthew answered
"I know" Michael nodded "So how are you and Bails doing? I've been a little busy lately to check on you guys" he replied
"Great... I mean we're trying for a baby too, the minute Bails saw Junior she wanted one too" Matthew answered
"But?" Michael asked
"But what? There's no but" Matthew replied
"I can hear it in your voice there's a but and I know you so what's the but?" Michael mentioned
"Fine, there's a but" Matthew sighed "I wonder if... you know I was in a coma for two years, what if it happens again or what if a baby will be too much to handle, like what if I don't have the energy to watch after a newborn?" he continued
"You have Bails, Veronica and Me to help you out, you watched Junior the other day and he was well fed by the time you and Bails brought him back" Michael mentioned
"He's an easy baby, he slept most of the time, he only woke up for a bottle of formula and a new diaper" Matthew answered
"Yea he's a baby they sleep most of the day and only need a bottle and a new diaper every now and then" Michael told him
"So you think I can handle being a parent?" Matthew asked
"Yes" Michael answered "Did the girls arrive yet?" he asked
"They should be here any minute now" Matthew answered
-- A few minutes later,
Bailey opened the door for Veronica who pushed the stroller into the dressing room
"Sorry we're late, this little guy thought it was funny to crap all over his new diaper when I wanted to dress him after his bath" Veronica mentioned and picked up her son that was happily blowing raspberries and making sounds
"You're a little trouble maker already?" Michael smiled at his son and took him over from Veronica
"Seriously you should've seen it, I didn't know such a little thing could crap so much" Bailey mentioned
"I heard you want one too" Michael smirked at her while Junior wiped the drool off on his father's sleeve
"No I want a girl" Bailey replied
"They can crap too, you know?" Veronica reminded her
"I know" Bailey mentioned
"Did you bring the earplugs for Junior?" Michael asked Veronica while their son fell asleep in his arms, feeling safe and protected in his father's arms
"Yes" Veronica nodded and sweetly kissed her husband "Are you ready to begin?" she asked
"Yes" Michael nodded "Are you ready to watch your first concert from the backstage area?" he asked while handing their sleeping son to his wife
"Yes" Veronica nodded
---
Once the concert began Veronica made sure Junior was tucked in in his stroller and wearing the custom made earplugs Michael had made for him while she, Matthew and Bailey enjoyed the concert
